What's New at COHS

In the area of peer education, our trainers have gained confidence and experience; we’ve reached 47 individuals through workshops or presentations this quarter, about evenly split between community leaders and health care providers. We’ve broadened our reach and visibility in the community by attending a number of community events in the spring of 2007, such as the Knowledge, Strength, and Grace Conference, Prostate Cancer Symposium, CISCRP’s AWARE FOR ALL, and the Harlem-Roxbury Book Fair.

The BID Initiative is also hosting an inaugural symposium on cancer clinical trials access on October 16, 2007 titled, “Revolutionizing Access: Cancer Clinical Trials Access and Communities of Color.” Please click here for registration information (PDF 213KB).

COHS is also gearing up to provide a training untitled “Optimizing Your Trial Recruitment and Retention” on November 29th 2007.
